Carolina (Julia Stiles) grew up in a completely dysfunctional family. She and her sisters are all named for the states they were born in. After her mother died, her father Ted (Randy Quaid) became an alcoholic, so the girls lived with their grandmother (Shirley MacLaine) and rarely saw their father. Fast forward to the present; Carolina has grown up relatively un-damaged, but she still searches for balance in her life. She and her sisters still see their grandmother, a defiant and bold woman who has no time to waste in life and doesn’t expect anyone to try and waste it. Carolina does meet a man, Heath (Edward Atterton), who seems to be everything she’s looking for, but he has yet to meet her crazy family. At the same time, her best friend Albert (Allesandro Nivola) is secretly in love with her.
